TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Beit known that I, JOSEPH GATLEY, of the city and county ofPhiladelphia, and State ofIonnsylvania, have invented a new and improvedLiquor Cooler; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,olea-r', and exact description of the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawing, and to the letters of rcferenoe marked thereon.

My inventionconsists in theapplication of a cooler to the faucet of abarrel or other vessel from which liquor isl drawn, by which vit has itstemperature lowered in passing through the ice contained in the saidcooler and without having its head or -beadA destroyed. On reference tothe accompanying drawing, making part of this specitication 4Figure 'lshows the cooler A suspended from the faucet B of a barrel, and

Figure 2 is a sectional view of the cooler A.

Similar letters refer to similar parts in the two views.

Liquors, when contained in vessels in confined places, become warm andunpalatable, especially malt liquors. The method generally adopted tocool them is bypassing over pipes filled either with ice or icy-coldwater. This destroys the head or bea'dof malt liquors, without whichthey have a stale-.Hat taste.

I lower the temperature of a liquor, especially malt, after leaving thefaucet B, by suspending aninverted conica-l ice-holder, A, from thefaucet 4o r other opening of a barrel or vessel in which it iscontained, and which is constructed and arranged as follows: Anadjusting-chain, a, orv other suitable device, fixed to the cooler A,suspends it beneath the'r faucet in such manner that the nozzle 6 formsa connection with the interior oi' the cooler by ,taking into a neck orcollar, c, on the top of it, (in some cases an opening or holemay beused.) One portion of said top consists ofa lid, d, for the convenienceof charging it with ice and observing its condition. At the botto-m ofthe cooler, where it joins with the pipe or spout e, is .a diaphragm orsicve,f,`to contain the ice in the cooler and at the same time-notinterfere with the free how of theliquor through it or its properdrainage.

To draw liquor from any vessel to which my cooler is applied, hold theglassl or other vessel into `which the liquor is to be drawn beneath thespout'e,and open the spigot. The liquor, in passing from the nozzle I)ainto the cooler, falls full upon the ice, every drop being brought intocontact with it, and filters through, and therebyl has its tenipeiat'urelowered to nearly ice coldness bythe time it empties into the glass.Malt liquors lose none i of their foam or sparkling appearance hy thistreatment. V

Bugs, ilies, and vermin are attracted to the nozzle of the faucet by thesaccharine ingredients of the liquor, and are dra'wn oli` with it,giving it an impure and unsalable appearance. My cooler lowers thetemperature of the air around the nozzle too low to sustain insect life.Y The Acooler A may vary from the shape represented, `so long as itsgeneral position to the faucet or otheropeningthrough which the liquoris drawn is retained. l d

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is-The cooler A suspended from or beneath the faucet QB or tap-holeorgother opening through which liquors are drawn from their containingvessels, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof Ihereunto sign my naine to this specicationinpresence of two subscribing witnesses.
